Chapter 289: When you feel sleepy, I'll give you a pillow
"No, no, you can't do this. I'm the king of a member country of the World Government!"
"Please, Lord Roy, give me some more time! I will definitely collect enough Heavenly Gold."
The capital of the Kingdom of Blore, once a prosperous city, has now become dilapidated, and the high palace has been reduced to ruins.
The fat king prostrated himself at Roy's feet, as if he had foreseen his fate of being destroyed.
So he was hugging Roy's thigh at this moment, begging Roy to let him go with a panicked look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Blore III, I actually want to give you time to collect the money.
But there is no rule. If you don't pay the Heavenly Gold on time, the country will be destroyed."
Kicked the fat king away with a disgusted kick.
Waved his hand.
Amid the king's tearful prayers, two agents of the World Government pulled him down.
Bang!
The sound of the execution by flintlock rang out in the ruins.
Squeak.
He struck a match and lit the cigarette in his hand.
Huh-
"This is the second country!
They obviously don't have any resources or money, but they all want to join the World Government.
Don't these stupid guys know that joining the World Government comes at a price?"
Looking at the capital city destroyed by the king's oppression uprising through the echo map.
Roy knew that even if he didn't come here today, this member of the World Government would probably be finished within this month.
After all, extreme oppression will produce extreme rebound.
Under crazy taxation, the king of this country has lost the support of the people.
This year is destined to be the most difficult year for all the member countries of the World Government.
Weak countries are destined to be removed from the list, and the economies of powerful kingdoms will also be affected.
Because this sea is becoming more and more chaotic, the economies of most countries are in an embarrassing predicament.
In normal times, the member countries of the World Government with relatively weak economic strength, such as the Kingdom of Blore, can barely make up the sky gold through trade.
But now, as the sea becomes more chaotic, various shipping lanes are blocked or wars break out, those kingdoms that were barely able to survive have been stripped of their underwear all of a sudden.
When overseas business cannot proceed smoothly, the kings will naturally turn their attention to the country in order to collect enough heavenly gold.
The way the king collects money in the country is often to increase taxes continuously and transfer the cost to the people.
But the people's tolerance is limited.
Therefore, when the exploitation reaches a certain level, many countries have erupted in uprisings and wars.
The number of navies is limited, so some countries are destined to not receive timely support.
The Kingdom of Blore is one of the unlucky countries that failed to receive timely support.
So in the case of war and economic difficulties, it failed to pay the heavenly gold, so it will be destroyed by the World Government.
In fact, things like destroying a country were originally the work of the Knights of God.
But because of Zefa and Whitebeard, this matter in the East China Sea now falls on Roy's head.
The fat king has fallen in a pool of blood.
As Spandam led his navy and the World Government's troops, they began to clear out the kingdom.
Roy would not be as extreme as the Knights of God, who would destroy a kingdom directly and kill most of the lives.
Roy would leave his mercy to this kingdom.
Although this kingdom would be removed from the sea in the future, Roy would let its citizens survive as much as possible.
After all, in today's world, population is also a resource.
Roy would not be like the Celestial Dragons, that group of arrogant guys, who would waste nakedly.
Some of the citizens of this kingdom would be absorbed by Roy's own forces, some would be sent to the Bridge Kingdom, some would be sent to the Dark World, and would be shared by various countries that had good relations with Roy.
Destroying a country is actually a business, and it is extremely profitable.
The weak have no way to resist the powerful.
When the island where the kingdom was located was surrounded by warships, after the troops led by Spandam cleared it out.
Shiploads of supplies and wealth that were squeezed to the extreme were loaded one by one in the bloody port.
These things will be sent to the holy land of Mary Joa by Roy.
At the other end of the port, the dense crowds of people are now numb and desperate about their future.
With the continuous decentralization of the World Government and Roy's own operations, the position of the Governor of the East China Sea is undoubtedly very large.
When several countries around the Kingdom of Blore began to mobilize their own kingdoms' fleets to serve Roy.
The land left by the Kingdom of Blore has actually been divided by Roy.
In the future, this place will be openly shared by several countries controlled by Roy.
The Kingdom of Blore, a country that was destroyed because it could not pay the sky gold, Roy will squeeze its remaining value to the extreme.
Roy wants the land, and he will not let go of the population.
Return to the ship office flying the flag of the World Government.
When Roy drafted the report on the destruction of the Kingdom of Blore and the harvest.
Light a cigarette.
Put your feet on the desk.
Roy began to calculate in his mind what he had gained during his time in the East China Sea.
Now Roy and his men have controlled five member states of the World Government in the East China Sea.
And with the Kingdom of Blore about to be swallowed up, Roy now has the territory of six member states of the World Government.
Although the countries controlled by Roy are not particularly powerful, this is enough for Roy at this stage.
And after Roy is full, Roy's next plan is to digest the territory he has obtained.
Six member states of the World Government.
Roy needs some time to digest their land and population into his own strength.
After all, if you take a big step, it is easy to pull the egg.
Only with a solid foundation can you build a tall building.
So Roy plans to slow down the erosion of the member states of the World Government in the East China Sea in the next six months.
He plans to target the navy of the East China Sea and the various fortresses occupied by the World Government.
After all, you must crack the hard shell before eating the egg, and once the hard shell is gone, is it still a problem to eat the egg?
Bulu Bulu!
Just when Roy was emptying his mind and thinking about the next plan in the East China Sea.
The silver-white Den Den Mushi with the World Government logo printed on it beside his desk suddenly rang.
"Huh? They actually contacted me directly. Is there something going on?"
His face suddenly became solemn.
He looked at the Den Den Mushi that was specifically in contact with the top leaders of the World Government beside the desk.
Click!
The Den Den Mushi was connected.
The voice of the Five Elders unexpectedly rang in his ears.
"Yeah, I get it. I will do my best to help clean up the navy in the East China Sea in secret."
He held back his excited voice.
He hung up the Den Den Mushi with his slightly trembling hands.
"It seems that Zefa's role has worked."
"Clean up the navy! It seems that the highest power has begun to doubt the navy!"
"But for me, this is really a pillow for me when I'm sleepy!"
